Review Quotes

Merriweather tweaks beloved lore just enough to spark readers' imaginations anew--and keep them on the lookout for a tiny mouse decked out in a Santa suit. The book's tall, narrow trim size suggests a stocking's shape, and Graegin's digital artwork features a surfeit of shadowy, decoration- and present-filled backdrops, befitting the protagonists' journey between sleepy homes in the dark of night. -- Publishers Weekly
